Informazioni sull'host
For three generations, we have been producing Primitivo di Manduria, following unchanged traditions over time. We cultivate the land with passion, focusing solely on the quality of the grapes. We refine and bottle our wines with the ambition of transferring the most authentic and characteristic flavors and aromas of our land into each glass.
The passion between our family and wine emerged in the early decades of the last century. It was our grandparents who first understood the potential that a land like ours could express, founding one of the first companies for bulk wine trade. Towards the end of the 1960s, our father, Giovanni Soloperto, took the next step and, even before the DOC regulations, bottled the Primitivo in its pure form in the first small cellar.
The cellar
Over time, the cellar has expanded to its current size, and today in our company, we produce around 500,000 bottles per year. Primitivo is always our main resource, accompanied by wines of the Apulian tradition such as Negroamaro and Sussumaniello, some white grape varieties from the Murgia hills, which make up the Locorotondo DOC.
Our work is focused on promoting the native grape varieties of Apulia, a rich ampelographic heritage with variety and history. At the same time, we are very attentive to the needs of consumers, offering them both simple and ready-to-drink wines, as well as more complex and structured wines suitable for aging. Every bottle from Cantine Soloperto is always a product of high quality, carrying the essence of a unique terroir in the world: Apulia.
